printstruct

MATLAB tool to recursively print hierarchical outline of structure contents. This is a minor adaptation of the File Exchange contribution "Structure outline" written by B. Roossien and available here.

USAGE: pS = printstruct(S, varargin)

Run printstruct with no args prints help and shows default VARARGINs

---

NECESSARY INPUT

• S
  • structure variable to print

---

OPTIONAL OUTPUT

• pS
  • cell array containing printed structure
  • if defined, printstruct will not display result in command window

---

VARARGIN [entered as 'name', value pairs]

NAME	DESCRIPTION
nlevels	N levels to print. If negative, all levels printed.
nindent	number of tab indents for each line of printed struct
structname	top level name (if empty, variable name will be used)
printcontents	flag to print field values/contents as well
maxarraylength	for fields with array data, max length of values to print. Values of a 2-D (m,n) array are printed if the number of elements (m x n) is smaller or equal to maxarraylength. This is ignored if printvalues is 0.

• run printstruct w/no arguments to see default values

EXAMPLES

pS = printstruct(S, 'maxarray', 100); 

printstruct(S, 'nlevels', 2, 'printcontents', 0, 'nindent', 3)
